In this simple script you can, but eventually you need an loop or something and you realize you're kind of stuck: before_loop; while something: step1; step2; after_loop; Note that after_loop is still inside the loop. Also you can't have multiple colons on the same line, so this doesn't work either: if test: do_this; else: do_that That gives a syntax error
